Travel Shot Tuesday: Founder Edition Posted on 6 Aug 11:47 , 0 comments

The 2013 Travel Advisor's Top 25 Landmarks of the World list had a very exciting surprise for us a Nomaterra; the Main Market Square in Krakow, Poland, was featured as number 10 on the list. Our founder, Aggie Burnett, grew up an hour outside of Krakow in Kowatice, and spent many summers vacationing in Krakow. Known as the cultural capitol of Poland, Krakow is a fantastic city, which you can read more about in an article Aggie wrote during her years studying journalism at New York University. Check out the Trip Advisor list for a number of other wanderlust inducing destinations, as well as more information about Krakow! And as always be sure to follow Nomaterra on Twitter and Facebook!

Boomerangit: Lost and Found Made Easy Posted on 5 Aug 11:36 , 0 comments

It can be hard enough for many of us to keep track of our various gadgets and possessions on a day-to-day basis, not to mention how tricky things get once you throw travel into the mix. Enter Boomerangit, a progression from a 1984 bike registration company which made it easier for police to identify recovered bicycles. According to the company, "BoomerangIt is a global lost and found return service that works with law enforcement, Good Samaritans and other fiduciaries, such as hotels, restaurants and airlines, to help return lost and stolen property to its rightful owners worldwide. It uses easy-to-affix, unique ID labels and tags backed by a secure online database to identify recovered items." Boomerangit exists as either a subscription service or as individual packs, where you can purchase a set number of tags to affix to your items which are then entered into the database. We think that having one on our phones, laptops, and maybe even our suitcases would be a great idea! Be sure to follow Nomaterra on Twitter and Facebook!

Yoga On-the-Go[/caption] Last week we shared one of our favorite new sites, Calm.com, as a great resource to add to your travel arsenal.

Keep Calm and Travel On Posted on 22 Jul 11:38 , 0 comments

While we all love to travel, adventure, and explore the many wonders that this world has to offer, we also know just how stressful and exhausting traveling can be. From extra long layovers to flight delays to baggage fees and more, getting from point A to point B can be a complete logistical nightmare. That's why we were so excited when we came across a new web site, Calm. Also available on the iPhone as an app, this site offers guided relaxation experiences. Users get to select their preferred background noises, choosing from options such as an ocean, river, soft rain, or sounds of the forest. You can also choose how long you'd like to relax, with 2, 10, and 20 minute options. No matter how much time you have, these exercises are fantastic ways to unwind, trust us! We tried all three lengths and are officially hooked. Try it today, and we're sure you will be too! Be sure to follow Nomaterra on Twitter and Facebook!
